Class Note 1950
Issue
Jul - Aug 2019
Doug Smith saw Joe Medlicott one Friday evening at the AVA gallery in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Both Joe’s friend Stephanie and Doug’s Meredith were contributing artists to the silent auction, so Joe and Doug got in free!
Joel Leavitt is playing tennis and golf three days a week—as befits the “youngest member of the class—but not the best looking!” he says. He leaves Palm Gardens, Florida, with Veda for Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in mid-June and plans to be with us October 10-11 for our Homecoming mini.
Jack and Jilly Harned are toughing it out at idyllic Stone Ridge, Connecticut, with him now out of the wheelchair using only a cane (after a bad summertime fall) with the help of a “knockout” 6-foot blonde therapist.
Lee “Sak” Sarokin, at Vi at La Jolla Village, California, continues to knock ’em dead way out west with his thespian outpourings with Traitor or Patriot and The Wedding Cake.
Our peripatetic president Bob Kirby and Brownlee McKee were skiing seven inches of the white at Aspen, Colorado, and continue their worldwide tour of choice watering spots.
Bill Carpenter is back on the tennis courts after some serious health issues subsided. “Carp” sold off his company in 2017 and keeps busy with Terri monitoring their 15 great-grandchildren (surely a record!). Both are looking forward to the fall—it is to be hoped they can make our October 10-11 Homecoming mini.
Sad note from Bob Wilkinson alerting us to Dick Williamson’s passing in March. Dick was a professor in the math department and had lived in Norwich, Vermont. After he retired he moved to Kendal in Hanover.
I have some limited information that I can share on the following classmates who have “moved on” (email me if you would like details): John “Jack” Avery, Richard “Dick” Johnson, James “Jim” Wehnes, Robert E. Graham, Leonard N. Radlo, John “Jack” L. Dutton, Leonard “M.” Stein, Thomas “Tom” M. Green, and H. Clifton “Clift” Whiteman III.
